Musk and his minions: DOGE team has now inserted officials at least 14 key government agencies Musk’s team of allies, former employees and young people on DOGE have infiltrated the government’s key federal agencies and departments.
DOGE staffers, many of whom have been subject to controversy due to their lack of experience or proximity to Musk’s other businesses, have been reportedly seen working in the Department of Energy, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Center for Disease Control, the FBI and more within the last week.
In President Donald Trump’s second week in office, Elon Musk’s newly formed team, the Department of Government Efficiency, managed to insert itself in at least 14 federal agencies and departments.
Democrats have pushed back on the drastic changes while state attorneys, federal worker unions, advocacy organizations and others have filed lawsuits trying to stop Musk and his team from quickly dismantling many decades-old established agencies and departments.
This past week, Musk’s team of young aides – some of whom are recent high school graduates – gained access to Treasury Department payment and data systems, raising alarm bells with Democrats who held a rally outside of the building in protest.
